Kichler 49951bk Black External Photocell 120V

Product Description

The KICHLER 49951bk is a black external photocell designed to automate outdoor lighting by switching fixtures on at dusk and off at dawn. Built from polycarbonate construction and rated for wet locations under cULus and cCSAus listings, this photocell is suited for residential and light commercial exterior lighting installations. It operates at 120 volts and is not dimmable. Electricians and lighting contractors install this unit as a standalone accessory to add dusk-to-dawn control to compatible outdoor fixtures without requiring a separate timer or smart control system.

This photocell is intended for exterior lighting applications where automatic ambient-light sensing is needed. Its compact form factor and wet location rating make it appropriate for use in exposed outdoor environments including eave-mounted, wall-mounted, and post-mounted fixture setups. It is sold as an accessory and does not include any lamp or bulb. The black finish coordinates with dark-finish outdoor fixtures in residential and commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off power at the circuit breaker before making any wiring connections. The photocell should be positioned to sense ambient natural light without interference from the fixture it controls to prevent false triggering. Verify that the connected fixture load does not exceed the photocell's rated capacity before energizing the circuit.
